Sulfuric Acid

I know to make Sulfuric acid you need to bubble sulfur dioxide through water, But to get the sulfur dioxide do i need to just heat sulfer or do I acually burn it. I was thinking just heating because wouldn’t it give the sulfur enough energy to react w/ the air. I’m sure burning would work. But that would complicate things for me. I know I can just buy it. But I would prefer making it myself. Anyone w/ experience have any ideas?

I’m not sure about making, but I get it from old car batteries.

To make sulfuric acid you need a car battery.punch a hole in the battery and pour it into a heat proof container.boil the acid.when you see white fumes evolving stop heating avoid breathing those fumes.The acid is now concentrated. be careful with it, it carbonizes organic material like skin.
